Full textAbstract:
The future of the church does not depend on the younger generation, but the Lord Jesus Christ. This theological foundation leads the church—in this case GPIB—to a more effective and robust ministry for the Millennial generation through discipleship. This paper aims to show that without discipleship, every effort to reach Millennials to get involved in the church is efficient but has not been effective yet. Modifying worships and traditions to reach Millennials is a form of external transformation, while discipleship talks about internal transformation. Without internal transformation, efficient external transformation efforts have not been effective.

Full textAbstract:
Bevans’ concept of transforming discipleship foregrounds a fundamental symbiotic relationship between discipleship and mission. The interplay between both practices is central to the wider debate of contemporary church social engagement under missio Dei. He explains that the notion of baptism and theosis embedded in the idea of transforming discipleship points to a concrete transformation of the human experience and condition. This forms the premise of this article in exploring how Christian practices of discipleship and mission articulate a process of human becoming and participation in the life and mission of God that centres on a critical engagement with lived reality. This understanding offers a consistent framework of fostering a mutual relationship between local churches and communities in the poorer urban context, which often face the twin challenge of church and social decline. It questions a simplistic binary correlation between the practices of discipleship and mission. Such correlation often leads to a seeming dichotomy in Christian practices, with mission being portrayed as a means of achieving a quantitative outcome and discipleship a qualitative one. Instead, the focus of this article is to elucidate how discipleship and mission are interwoven, that both start with God and are integral to the actualisation of God’s salvific plan in the world.

Full textAbstract:
The prosperity gospels must be considered first in the context of authentic discipleship, which is herein defined and unfolded thematically (from both Old and New Testaments) as a life of worship; devotion and loyalty in the form of faithfulness, renunciation, mercy, and love; and self-sacrifice. So understood, such discipleship is the antithesis of personal status, worldly privilege, and/or temporal power--in other words, it is the antithesis of the kinds of status, privilege, and power falsely claimed by the prosperity gospels.

Full textAbstract:
The Cape Town Commitment: A Confession of Faith and a Call to Action is one of the significant documents of evangelical Christianity that briefly addresses many important topics; one of such topics is discipleship. This article traces the theme of discipleship in the document and offers a theological reflection on the content and form of discipleship for contemporary evangelical Christianity. After the first part where the topic of discipleship is addressed, the article continues to offer a theological reflection on the topic of discipleship. Hence, the second part discusses the content and the form of discipleship. While the third part explains the importance of discipleship arguing that discipleship (Matthew 28) is the channel through which God realizes the return of the original creational blessing that was promised to Abraham in Genesis 12. In the conclusion it is pointed out that if we want to take the topic of discipleship from The Cape Town Commitment seriously, the following is needed: a) to understand that discipleship is not an after-school or extracurricular activity but a channel through which God wants to spread his redemptive blessing to all nations; b) in our local churches and academic institutions we need to return teaching by example, because various church or educational activities are part of the discipleship but they are not a supplement for teaching by example; c) to redeem the term “Christian” in a way that this term is only used for those who are “disciples.”

Full textAbstract:
In recent years many discipleship models emerged on the Christian global scene. One discipleship model that has garnered attention in theological seminaries, mission organizations, and churches is the T4T discipleship model (Training for Trainers). The T4T discipleship model is a part of Church Planting Movements (CPMs) and Disciple Making Movements (DMMs). This article provides information about the T4T discipleship model - what it is, what it does, and how is it applied. Further, this article considers its strengths and weaknesses regarding the use of it in the Croatian context. This article concludes that the T4T discipleship model is not suitable for use in local churches in Croatia unless there are substantial adaptations to its teaching and practices.

Full textAbstract:
A historical survey and critical evaluation concerning discipleship in the Fourth Gospel The historical survey about discipleship in the Fourth Gospel indicates that the literature of the second half of this century was sketchy about this theme. Up till 1972 a thematic-theological approach highlighted some characteristics of discipleship as they appeared in all four gospels. The study of Jimenez (1972) was the first substantial approach to research about discipleship in the Fourth Gospel and caused a paradigm shift to restrict his study to only the Fourth Gospel. During the 80's the interest about this theme increased, due to Rudolph Bultmann. After Bultmann more attention was paid to the situation and circumstances of the audience which contribute to a greater interest on discipleship and ecclesiology in the Fourth Gospel. Although no constant current influence on discipleship has been observed, most scholars are unanimous that the focal point of discipleship lies in the "Last Discourse".

Full textAbstract:
Many churches and Christians are still unfamiliar with the practice of discipleship, and even if they are familiar with the term discipleship, there are still many who are reluctant or less serious in making discipleship the core of church ministry. It is for this purpose that this research was conducted. The method used is a literature study from discipleship and church experts which is analyzed to get the root of the problem and concepts that should be according to the Bible so that applications can be drawn for today, especially for Christian education patterns in church discipleship or churches that make disciples. The result of this research is the discovery of several applications that are very important for the perspective of Christian religious education related to the church and discipleship that must be continuously worked on, namely: First, Discipleship is the responsibility of all Christians. Second, Discipleship of the church has a strong impact on the spiritual growth of believers. Third, sending students to make disciples is an effective pattern of Christian education. Fourth, the importance of having a fellow disciple disciple in the same vision.

Full textAbstract:
Discipleship is a task that must be carried out by the church. Discipleship has an understanding as a pattern of discipling or teaching and being discipled again to become similar to Christ, this pattern forms a chain that cannot be broken. Family Care is an appropriate and lively place where the discipleship process takes place and produces productive and effective students in shepherding God's people entrusted to a local church. Discipleship in Family Care is discipleship based on the word of God and aims to mature spiritually and make people worthy of God. And in carrying out discipleship it is very important to use a strategy. Strategies in discipleship in Family Care will make discipleship more effective and make it easier to achieve the goals or objectives to be achieved. The presence of Family Care members at the Sunday service has greatly impacted the growth in the quantity of congregations at the main service and also at the services of the Bethel Indonesia Tabgha Sekupang Church. Family Care as the spearhead of soul harvesting plays a very important role in increasing the quantity of congregations at Bethel Indonesia Tabgha Sekupang Church.

Full textAbstract:
This article presents the biblical meaning of disciple and discipleship and uncovers the importance of community-based discipleship. Literature was engaged to throw light in arguments. The article appeals that a church that seeks to be successful needs to follow the method of Jesus by making disciples through community-based discipleship and relationship principles. Making community-based discipleship a priority will help the church to produce connected and transformed disciples, not just converts to the movement. Strong community-based discipleship builds strong disciples of Jesus and strong churches for mission. The church with the community-based discipleship will successfully fulfill the Great Commission following the method of Jesus (Matt 28:18-20). If the church seeks to be successful, it should follow the method of Jesus in discipling.

Abstract Christianity in the spiritual growth and quantity of the church cannot be separated from believers who carry out the mandate of the Great Commission. But in the accompanying journey of God there is not much that can be done by believers in mission and discipleship. So with that focus and purpose of this research is to answer the research question of how the Bible study of mission and discipleship in the Great Commission and its implications for Christian life today. While the problem that occurs in this research work is how Discipleship and mission are not properly understood in the current era so that many prioritize mission but override discipleship or vice versa. But the benefits of this research are: first, the importance of mission in the Great Commission, then the importance of discipleship for believers and continuity and the last implies mission and discipleship as life priorities. To describe the biblical study of mission and discipleship in the Great Commission and its implications for contemporary Christian life, researchers used library research methods with quantitative descriptive approaches.

If we establish that the meaning of theosis is to become like God through the process of becoming like Christ, and if the goal of discipleship is to become like Christ, then it becomes evident that these two concepts are closely related. The article briefly explains the concepts of discipleship and theosis, and the most common evangelical discipleship setting (one-on-one or small group). Then it suggests four modules for teaching theosis in a discipleship setting: created to be Godlike, Godlikeness lost, restoring Godlikeness, and becoming fully Godlike. This model brings together theosis and discipleship which provides a new and helpful approach for raising Christlike/Godlike disciples.

Full textAbstract:
The usage of the terms “disciple” and “discipleship” are very common among Evangelical Christians and the meanings of these terms seem self-evident. However, although these circles adopted such language, it was already present in the Jewish culture of Jesus’ time. The purpose and the goal of this article is to analyze the concept of discipleship in its original context and see how much the meaning of this term is removed from the meaning that this term has today. This topic we will address in two parts. In the first part, we studied the Old Testament (OT) roots of discipleship and the Jewish educational system in Jesus’ time and analyzed whether Jesus himself, and in what measure, passed through that Jewish educational system and how and in what ways he used this model in the discipleship process of his disciples. In this part of the article, we will address the practice of discipleship in the first Church, and after that offer some guidelines on how to apply Jesus’ concept of discipleship in the Church today. The key focus of this article is the problematic of applying principles of discipleship that were present in the context of Jewish culture, on the Church today, since our analysis reveals that understanding of discipleship today does not correspond entirely to the understanding of that concept in Jesus’ time. Although discipleship then and now contained passing on information, it was more important to follow the rabbi and learn from him in a close relationship. It is concluded that a possible solution for this challenge must be sought first and foremost in the change of thinking about what discipleship truly is (change of focus), and then in the practice through mentoring or working in small groups purposefully expose both sides (both “teachers” and “students”) to the experience of teaching through example.

Full textAbstract:
There is a fundamental difference between being a disciple and being a follower. There are no shortcuts to high-quality Christianity. This noble goal can only be achieved through the process of discipleship. The outreach and discipleship practiced today should reflect on what is written in the Bible. The examples of discipleship in Scripture should be the pattern of discipleship in the post-modern era. This is what drives the implementation of this research (as an urgency). God's Word applies to all generations, so there must be a breakthrough to find relevance with what’s stated in the Bible. The goal of this writing should reflect on what is written in the Bible for the church to make discipleship as the main strategy in triggering congregational growth, in quality and subsequently quantity growth. Church cannot be satisfied with the overflowing number of visitors at Sunday services. Nor by the grandeur church building, which is indeed the main attraction. A good and proper reason for church satisfaction is the growth born of the discipleship as stated in the Bible. Therefore, it is necessary to design discipleship processes towards life-changing repentance based on simple materials and natural guidance in the community.

AbstractAlthough all the Gospels deal with discipleship, Luke's Gospel focuses particularly on the cost of discipleship. In this article attention is paid to Luke's presentation of discipleship of Jesus, dealing with such matters as the kind of disciple Jesus called, the significance of following Jesus and the specific features of true discipleship. Some crucial issues such as self-denial and cross-bearing are put into perspective for the present-day reader, indicating the revolutionary character and the rejection of mediocrity this challenge to follow Jesus contains.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on the spiritual activities of Christians in Indonesia. However, various restrictions that have arisen due to the pandemic have not stopped church leaders from carrying out their ministry, including discipleship. March 2020 to September 2021, various studies have been carried out using various research methods to discuss discipleship during the pandemic. Thus, this research aims to conduct an extensive review on discipleship during pandemic era in Indonesia from 2020 to 2021 focuses on the model, criteria of teacher, and size of discipleship recommendations. This research used a systematic review method from previous research results that were inventoried and analyzed systematically in a synthesis. The search resulted in 20 articles from various journals, which were then filtered into 12 articles focus on discussing the model, teacher criteria, and discipleship size in Indonesia during the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on the analysis, it is concluded that family and cell group-based discipleship models, taught by the parents and church servants, with a slender size (one-on-one and one-to-many with maximum 12 of size) are most recommended to be applied in this pandemic era. All type of discipleship must have an orientation towards completing the Great Commission.

Full textAbstract:
The development and progression of Christianity for more than two thousand years has created many variations in terms of views regarding how to run a church and do discipleship. As a result, there are many debates and frictions when people of different backgrounds and demographics meet as fellow workers in local churches. There are different opinions about how discipleship should be done, from a wide range of backgrounds and scales of local churches whose number of members vary. This paper is written with the purpose of examining several principles of discipleship that Jesus demonstrated in the gospels, as well as seeing their implications for churches in the modern era. This paper discusses the definition of biblical discipleship, and how the initiation for discipleship should come from the disciple maker. When discipleship is forced, there will be discomfort that needs to be embraced in the process. In serving, a disciple maker should take the posture of a servant, not a superintendent, towards the disciple and be involved in the life of the disciple to share life with him or her.

The paper explores “discipleship” in the discipline of “Building up the local church”. The empirical research indicates a perceived difference in what it means to be a disciple and what it means to be a Christian with the increasing belief that discipleship is an optional extra to the Christian calling and even a “higher form” of Christian development. The causes of nominal Christianity within Methodism and how this has resulted in a misunderstanding of true discipleship are considered. The paper opens a way forward for the local church to overcome nominal Christianity and to enable the process of making disciples and practising discipleship.

This paper is an attempt to provide a systematic perspective on J. I. Packer’s theology of discipleship based on a descriptive, analytical, and critical methodology of theological investigation. Various references to discipleship in Packer’s Knowing God (1973, the 2021 edition) were identified, analyzed, and contextualized to demonstrate six features of Christian discipleship (knowledge of Christ, zeal for Christ, spiritual adoption, spiritual realism, biblical anticipation, turning the world upside down) in conjunction with two fundamental aspects (Christ’s personal impact and keeping God’s commandments, the “two pillars” of discipleship) that constitute its foundation and were extracted from his Keeping the Ten Commandments (2008) and Concise Theology: A Guide to Historical Christian Beliefs (2011). The article shows how the six theological features of discipleship, and its two pillars are used by Packer to put together a contemporary Christian spirituality.

Abstract. Discipleship is a responsibility mandated by God to the world, especially to the church. So the church is the mandate of God who is responsible for carrying out the task of discipleship. The church, which is entrusted with the mandate of discipleship, plays a central role in confirming, nurturing and reaching everyone to become a disciple of Christ. Youth as an integral part of the church is one of the targets of discipleship that must be considered at all times because they are a generation as well as an asset for the church. In reaching youth, one method that can be developed is the KAMBIUM discipleship method. Starting from this description, the research aims to determine the implementation of the KAMBIUM method as a discipleship strategy for youth.

Full textAbstract:
The word “discipleship” carries different meanings depending on the context in which it is used. Holistic community provides a natural environment in which people can learn cognitively, emotionally, and behaviorally. In this way, discipling in the context of community (small groups) enhances and strengthens behaving and believing, as well as belonging. Additionally, a deeper understanding of the three-fold revelation of God (i.e., the Triune God, who is by nature a communal, relational God) helps us better understand how holistic small groups foster the growth and support of believers, encouraging them to bring others into God’s family. The way the members of the Trinity relate to each other is a model of the very essence of discipleship. While other elements of church life are important to discipleship, it is specifically through/ within holistic small groups that disciples are created, grown, transformed, and multiplied. Three elements (colors) of discipleship necessary for real-life discipleship are suggested: teaching, mentoring, and modeling.

The cultural situation of the church in the United Kingdom is useful for framing questions emerging more broadly for the western church and discipleship formation. After briefly considering secularism, the paper considers themes of discipleship. This is accompanied by an argument for schools of discipleship and radical formation. The outworking of this in a particular setting in higher education describes some of the tensions inherent in practicing Christian theology in public and increasingly secular settings.

Everyone believe is called to be a disciple by Christ. Christianity without discipleship is Christianity without Christ. Departing from this statement, it is understood that, only by becoming a disciple of Christ can one become a light or witness of Christ in the world and lead others to Christ. The true Christian life, is not meant to simply accept Jesus as Savior, attend church services, read the Bible, pray, talk about Jesus, but also is intended to represent God and demonstrate the lifestyle of God's kingdom on earth. So true Christians are disciples of Jesus Christ. Because of the importance of that discipleship, students are mentioned 269 times in the New Testament, which refers to individuals who are jointly committed to following Jesus Christ. The purpose of this research is to provide discipleship services for Christian prisoners at Lembaga Pemasyarakatan Cipinang Jakarta Timur. As a result of this research that after this discipleship was held Christian convicts at Lembaga Pemasyarakatan Cipinang Jakarta Timur had a Christlike character, had hope in Christ, could multiply discipleship.

In the scriptures it is clear that Mary was chosen by God to conceive and give birth to Jesus, the Son of God. This special role is both a gift and a task that Mary received in the complete obedience of faith. She listens to the word of God and carries it out with the spirituality of the servant and disciple. Many studies on Mary highlight aspect of motherhood and servant spirituality. Meanwhile, the dimension of Mary's discipleship has received less attention. So this research explores the spirit of Mary’s discipleship in the texts of the scriptures. The aspect of Mary's discipleship is then reviewed for its relevance to today’s followers of Christ (disciples). The bibliography method was used in this research process to find and formulate a synthesis of Mary's discipleship as an inspiration for Church discipleship.The results of the research show that Mary was not only a mother of Jesus and a spiritual mother for Christ’s followers, but also a true disciple, and a role model of discipleship for Church in all ages.

To be true to its name-sake, the academic focus of Christian education should be in service to discipleship, not vice versa. Only discipleship formation equips for the eternal transcendent issue of life. Christian discipleship expectations for home, church, and school settings are elaborated under seven biblical mandates: Dominion Mandate, populate the earth, self-governance, the First Greatest Commandment, the two parts of the Second Greatest Commandment (love self and love others), and the Great Commission.

Abstract One of the Lord Jesus' commands for every believer is to be a disciple and continue to be in discipleship as a consistent implementation of the Great Commission. Not a few believers and churches who are not consistent in undergoing discipleship related to all spiritual activities, which resulted in Christlike growth impossible to achieve due to material and time limitations. Believers and the church in general are faced with the challenges of the times where individualism becomes a barrier for believers to follow discipleship consistently through the local church. This study aims to find the truth about discipleship in the Bible to be applied by God's servants and carry out discipleship continuously. This study uses a qualitative method that examines the Bible as the main source and sources related to discipleship. The results of this study conclude that Discipleship is a process that will last a lifetime through the spiritual community and makes believers as true disciples, role models for new believers, becoming disciples of Christ who produce further disciples of Christ. Key Words: Discipleship, Consistent, Grow, like Christ Abstrak Salah satu perintah Tuhan Yesus bagi setiap orang percaya adalah menjadi murid dan terus berada dalam pemuridan sebagai implementasi Amanat Agung yang konsisten.

Pemercaya dan gereja pada umumnya diperhadapkan pada tantangan zaman di mana hidup individualisme menjadi hambatan bagi pemercaya untuk mengikuti pemuridan secara konsisten melalui gereja Lokal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menemukan kebenaran akan pemuridan di dalam Alkitab untuk diterapkan oleh hamba-hamba Tuhan dan menjalankannya terus-menerus. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif yang meneliti Alkitab sebagai sumber utama dan sumber-sumber yang terkait dengan pemuridan.

Full textAbstract:
"With the current state of discipleship, congregations can no longer afford to rely on their church-centered programs as their main means of growing disciples. Programs do not disciple people; people disciple people. Becoming authentic communities who create intentional spaces where believers of all ages and stages in their faith journey can effectively and meaningfully connect with one another and with God, grow spiritually, and reach out to the world around them is of vital importance in urban discipleship. With the imperative to share the gospel in the cities, urban congregations need to objectively do their own discipleship reality assessment in light of Jesus’ example and command. A thoughtful assessment of the gap between Jesus’ intention and current practices will help them make necessary adjustments to their approach to discipleship."

Full textAbstract:
This article applies Bonhoeffer’s description of Christian discipleship to research literature on military culture and costs of military service. Bonhoeffer’s theological understanding of discipleship illustrates a calling, subordination, obedience, discipline, loyalty, mission focus and the cost thereof, and a collectivistic approach. These are commonly understood as core features of military communal life and service. This article suggests that service members may have a certain cultural disposition which resonates to Bonhoeffer’s teachings of discipleship. Christian communities may serve as cultural platforms capable of assisting veterans in transition from military to civilian life and supporting their reintegration into society. Additionally, veterans may reinvigorate Christian discipleship by bringing these closer to the teachings of Bonhoeffer which may work in the service of renewed commitment and devotion. This could serve the larger society; it may have a positive influence upon communal life as well as the individual.

Commonly prescribed vocational discipleship strategies have been devoid of teaching methods specifically designed for engaging the imagination. To fill this methodological gap, the author developed the 4D-R method for imagining the future and conducted a qualitative study to understand adult evangelical Christians' experience of the method. The findings indicate that the 4D-R method for imagining the future could be a useful strategy for vocational discipleship, particularly in the area of vocational discernment. The findings further suggest a relationship between common vocational discipleship strategies and the 4D-R method for imagining the future.

Dalam tugas pemuridan, komunitas iman dalam sebuah gereja sebagai suatu institusi melakukan tindakan pergi untuk mewartakan kabar baik sehingga setiap bangsa dapat menjadi bagian dari komunitas iman pada Yesus Kristus. Dalam pemuridan, setiap orang yang masuk dalam komunitas iman pada Kristus, diterima dengan tanpa membedakan mereka, sebab tugas ini adalah tugas yang multikultural.
